Regina's POV
That conversation with Hardbroom had brought some not so pleasant memories to mind. I was the head mistresses 'play toy' as she called me. I was hers to control and do whatever she sees fit to me which, since we couldn't leave the school, included her doing some inappropriate things to me. I didn't know what she was doing when she started but when I heard one of the girls explaining what sexual relationships were so I knew since I was twenty.
I was never given the talk as she preferred that I acted and thought like a child. Once I realised what she was doing I tried stopping it but she hurt me in return so I never tried to stop her again. I still have the scar on my stomach to this day. Almost every night she would make me do things I didn't want to do to her and she would do things to me during the day when she could just to make me listen to her.
I hated her with everything I had.
Then there was Hecate. She was kind and used a softer voice on me than I had ever heard from anyone. She encouraged me and didn't get angry at me. Sure, I had only just met her but she was quite pretty so I may like her.
I made it to my room. It was pretty basic with creme walls and oak furniture. The bedroom and bathroom were fine too. In the main room was a fireplace, sofa, armchairs, bookcase, window seat and desk. The bedroom had a bed, two bedside tables, a wardrobe and a vanity. The only things I had to do were to rearrange the furniture, change it to dark oak, change the colour of the walls and expand the bookshelf.
Once I was done it was the end of the day. Well, it was 5:30 but I considered it to be the end of the day. I was going to leave when out of the corner of my eye I see a rather nervous Miss Hardbroom. I transferred behind her. "are you okay?" "yes, I was just going to ask you a question." "Ask away." "you see... Um. Heh, I was wondering if." She took a deep breath.
"I know how at Wormwoods you couldn't make friends with teachers, which lead me to the conclusion that you wouldn't be busy this evening. I was wondering if maybe, if it's not a bother, that you would join me in my Chambers and we could... talk." I took in what she said, of course she was right. I was not busy so I was going to agree. "I have nowhere to be so, why not? Could be fun." "really?" She sounded amazed. "yeah, is that weird?" "no, well yes. It's because not many people like me and find me unappealing to talk to." "As I said it could be fun. So, lead the way."
Hecate's POV
Regina actually agreed! Okay, do not mess this up. You cannot lose another friend because if your lack of social skills. But she's like you, she also has no social skills so either this was going to work out or this was going end in disaster. Let's find out!
I transferred us both directly into my room. She looked around amazed. "I know, my room is quite plain." "no, I'm amazed at the fact that it looks almost exactly like my room at the council house." "council house?" "it is a place for council members to stay when they are travelling or their house got destroyed and they need a place to stay last minute." "You have a room there." "every council member does, I have just been staying in mine for the past three weeks." "you really do have nowhere to go." she hummed in response.
Suddenly Ada transferred into the room. She jumped back in surprise; she still wasn't used to people suddenly appearing in front of her. "Hello, Hecate." She turned around and spotted Regina. "oh, Regina! I didn't realise you were still here." "yes Ada, Regina will be staying a while longer tonight." "oh! That is wonderful news!" What in stars name was going on! She turned to Regina again. "In that case, Regina. Would you care to join us for dinner down in the kitchen? Hecate is cooking tonight." We both smiled. "that sounds lovely, Ada." She turned excited. "you called me by my first name!" "I've only met you recently so it's easier."
This sounded like a not so bad idea.
